Core i5-7300U vs A6-9225 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7300U beats the A6-9225 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-9225 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-7300U has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-7300U and A6-9225 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-7300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-7300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
